ARGH! Talk about poor vacation planning. The Giro d' Italia goes through Mestra, Italy, not too far from the Marco Polo Airport on Sunday 23 May. We fly back to Germany on Friday 21 May. Not that I'm a big cycling fan but watching the peleton of one of the Grand Tours of cycling would be insanely cool. I'm trying to lay the ground work with Shantel to at least go watch a stage of the Tour de France before we leave Europe.

I'm not even sure who I would root for if I did watch the Giro. Everyone knows I ride a Cervelo Dual, and I'm lusting after a Cervelo P3 and the Cervelo Test Team is riding the Tour of California with the Radio Shack Team and my favorite cyclist Lance Armstrong. OK I know that's not very original but the man's a machine and you've got to respect him no matter what the French think of him. Just another reason to despise the French, they can't win a war on their own and they disrespect THE GREATEST cyclist of all time.

I've sampled a few Italian beers so stay tune later this week when I get home and I can download some pictures and post the reviews.

Looks like I'm showing my ignorance again. As I was web surfing this morning I saw that Cervelo has teams in both the Giro and the Tour of California. Looks like the young riders were in California and the "A" Team was in Italy

About Me

I'm not your average beer drinker I've got a triathlon and running problem. I can't wait to finish a race and crack a cold one at the finish line. I've even drank a beer in the middle of a marathon.
This blog is an attempt for me to chronicle my workouts and races all while drinking beer. It's just for me but hopefully someone else can look at it and enjoy it as well

I'm an amateur beer taster. I like beer and my goal when I review a beer is to tell you what I thought about a beer. Basically whether or not I liked it or not.

Some people have told me that I'm not critical enough in my reviews, mainly about German Beers. Have had a beer I wouldn't try again, sure. Have I had a German Beer I wouldn't try again, off the top of my head, no. Come on people Germany does a lot of stuff right (Beer, Sausages, Pretzels) and some stuff wrong (Doesn't everybody?) but they REALLY DO BEER RIGHT. If I won't drink it again, trust me I'll let you know.
